Ugh, believing a cover to be the original .. such sillyness must be ridiculed. And that A-Ha cover was godsdamnedawfulyargh!
Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) is a kind of a warning song against the use of LSD and was first recorded in 1967 by Jerry Lee Lewis. However, it became famous with the band First Edition with none other than Kenny Rogers doing the singing. I think it's a brilliant song.
And Supergrass did a lovely cover which is a B-Side on their Alright/Time single from their 1995 debut which was recorded when the lead singer was still a bitty teenager. It's pretty much in line with the old one, just rocked/speeded up slightly and with a touch of youthful energy added.
